Esterlen 4499 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hi, here's my application thread. :) Out-Of-Character: -Minecraft Account Name: Taxidermist_Dave -How old are you?: 35. -Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Australia -Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I like to think I do. :) -Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I'm wacky, occasionally funny, have the ability of a broken toaster when it comes to creative writing and dedicated. I'm also a huge fan of RP of any kind. -How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Oh, this is hard. I have a very fickle work schedule...I would say eight-ten hours minimum? Some times I may be on a -lot- more than that, sometimes a lot less. -How long have you played minecraft?: Since October last year. -What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?: My definition of roleplaying is acting out a character that is not you, sort of like improvised acting. I've been doing it for about four years now - in forums, in World of Warcraft, in Guild Wars and other online games. (Usually in medieval settings.) -What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect it to be wonderful. I've been looking for a good Minecraft RP servers for ages and this seems like the one. -What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I've played on Tanelorn RP PvP and various other minor servers run by my friends. I left Tanelorn because there was little to none structured lore around the server and factions. -Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?: I have. -Name the 4 races on this server. Elf, orc, dwarf, human. -How did you hear about us?: I've heard about you before but I never really took the time to apply - until the Yogscast favourited one of your trailers (Which I watched!) and decided I couldn't just stand around. -Did you vote?: I did. -What was your favourite Law?: The one which says you can not damage the landscape. This is an awesome one for me - it means incredible landscapes can go undamaged. -What was your least favourite Law?: None. They all seem reasonable. -What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name? Malythil. In-Character: -Character Name: Malythil Greensun. -What is your Race?: Elf. (Subrace: Wood elf.) -Lordofthecraft.net/forum forum account: Malythil. -Biography: Born to a pair of wood elf druids late in their lives, an only child, the most notable thing about Malythil was his raven black hair and it was not often a wood elf was born a brunette. He was raised like any other in Laurelin. He was a smart and quiet child - but in time, a lust for power grew within him that could not be quenched. There was no tragedy, no death and no pain in his childhood; for the most part he was spoilt - until he was forced to leave the home. Without his parents, he experienced the perilous world for himself - and he was unable to conquer it. Barely able to survive, he vowed one thing. One day, he would succeed. The world would all bow down to him - and he would do whatever possible to make that so. He thirsts for knowledge and power. -Character Age: If he was a human, around thirty. I don't really know elf age conventions on this server - if I'm just being plain ignorant, tell me! -Character Appearance: He's tall and thin, generally wears a traditional green and gold robe and has long black hair. Often has an expression of disdain on his face. -Character Personality: He is manipulative, independant, intelligent, ruthless, determined and logical. Somewhat cold, but not to the degree of evil. -Your ambitions: To someday be elected into the elven high council and perhaps even...the high prince. -Can your character read or write?: He can do both these very well. -Can your character mine?: No, digging is not exactly his cup of tea. -Are you a capable builder? Yes. -Can you wield a sword?: Yes. -Enjoy Farming?: No. -Does your character have any special skills?:] He's good with a bow, incredibly manipulative and good at lying. (He would make a good politician!). I was hoping for him to be some sort of wizard/druid if that would be possible. If not, well, that's okay! :D -A screenshot of your skin: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=30j0d9u&s=7 I can't take credit for this, it's an -amazing- skin I found on the LotC skin page which I recolored to make it have black hair. -Other Information: I've shown it all, I think! :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebeard 126 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Common reasons people are denied: -It has bad grammar or Punctuation. -Your biography was too short. -Your Biography didn't link to the lore of Aegis. -You obviously didn't read the lore. -Fix the layout: This could be from having bolds everywhere or simply being hard to read. -It lacked effort. -Your skin isn't RP. -Needed an actual picture of your skin. -You didn't include a skin link. -Your application was too short. These are just some of the reasons it could have been I encourage you too check out the following link if you are struggling to write an application. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/1035-read-first-chevaliers-guide-to-posting-a-good-application/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esterlen 4499 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Alright, I fixed the random bolding. I don't know why that was there - I must have just neglected to notice it. Anyway, I hope that was what was wrong with my application. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petyr 485 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Your denial was probably more based on a short bio. And no, we don't really have magic yet :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esterlen 4499 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Your denial was probably more based on a short bio. And no, we don't really have magic yet :P Ah, okay. I didn't think it was that short - well, short enough to warrant a denial... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr 485 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Ah, okay. I didn't think it was that short - well, short enough to warrant a denial... Well to put it in perspective, a good bio is usually a detailed paragraph, preferably two. Crucial things are birthplace, upbringing, previous professions, important events, etc. Here is an example: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/7515-example-application-bubbli/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
